In the family of social media, Facebook is the fun, hard-partying youngest child, then LinkedIn is the serious, professional first born. I have a serious crush on LinkedIn, which is why I've devoted lots of space on this blog to the platform. Like Facebook, LinkedIn brother has some very sophisticated ad targeting, but with a few distinct advantage for B2B companies.

Today, I offer a step-by-step guide to setting up an ad campaign on LinkedIn.

If you don’t already have someone who is experienced at writing and applying for grants, you may need to hire a grant writer.

There are two reputable associations for finding a grant consultant; the Grant Professionals Association and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. It’s important to find individuals who are experienced and committed to a specific code of ethics. Members of these organizations are more likely to be both.

LinkedIn is not merely a site to host your online resume. It has become a major business-oriented social network for professionals and organizations.

LinkedIn can be a valuable and effective tool for sales and marketing teams. With over 300 million members (at the time of this article) and a lot of activity from c-level professionals and decision-makers, it's a vibrant community for business.

It can also be a great tool for those who work in development at nonprofits. The Vice President of Philanthropy, or similar such title, is the nonprofit counterpart of a Business Development Director at a for-profit company.

If sales folks can use LinkedIn to find prospects, warm leads, recruit and get referrals, then many of the same principles should apply to the nonprofit world.

Growing membership, finding sponsors and new donors, connecting with existing donors, getting referrals--all of these activities are well suited to this particular social network.

LinkedIn also has a variety of tools that can help augment your sales and marketing process. It has some basic CRM-like functionality, it can integrate with other systems, it has a publishing platform, and it can help you reach the right people with laser-focused content.

However, many people don't always know where to start or what to do when it comes to LinkedIn. How do sales teams use LinkedIn? How do marketing teams increase visibility for their companies? How can you make the most of your limited time on LinkedIn?

While you can spend a lot of time on LinkedIn exploring all it has to offer, we're going to focus on the three most effective ways to use this network for sales and marketing.

LinkedIn is one of the fastest-growing online professional networks. It has over 225 million professionals around the world as members and grows at a rate over over two new users per second. LinkedIn is a great way to build your professional net- work to find referral partners, augment sales, and strengthen your personal brand...all of which I think we can agree are pretty important things.

LinkedIn has some nice (newish) features that I find really useful. One of them is the calendar sync option. Enabling this option adds some nice functionality to your LinkedIn emails. If you sync up your calendar, you will start getting emails like this one:

As you can see, LinkedIn used my calendar to see that I met with Scott yesterday, found him on LinkedIn, and then offered to let me connect with him in one click. Nice!

LinkedIn is one of the fastest-growing online professional networks. It has over 225 million professionals around the world as members and grows at a rate over over two new users per second. Think about that for a second...and 2 more new users were just added. At this rate, LinkedIn users may take over the world! (Insert evil laugh here.)
